Only some of the music presented of this intriguing release has been published, and only the Ireland has remained in print. The Ireland piece still features regularly on concert programmes, but the other works here, even those as well known as Scott and Alwyn, have all been neglected, unjustly so. This new recording will undoubtedly bring many of these fine composer back into the spotlight.
